WINNIPEG — When the Winnipeg Blue Bombers added Taylor Elgersma, they weren’t just bringing in a Canadian quarterback prospect, they were adding one of the most intriguing developmental stories in recent memory.

The former Wilfrid Laurier standout arrives in Winnipeg a year after being drafted in the second round (18th overall) of the 2025 CFL Canadian Draft with a résumé that has already caught the attention of some of the CFL’s most respected veteran quarterbacks.

“Taylor Elgersma, the quarterback from Wilfrid Laurier,” said Bo Levi Mitchell in a conversation with CFL.ca in 2025 about young players that caught his attention. “I threw with him in the off-season last year, then he came to our training camp as well.

“I’m excited for him. I think he has the talent to play anywhere and be a starter.”
